6 INTRODUCTION Bienvenido welcome to Instant Immersion Spanish! An understanding of other cultures is critical in becoming part of a larger global community. Knowing how to communicate in other languages is one way to facilitate this process, and you have chosen a truly global language to learn. There are diverse Spanish-speaking cultures in Europe, Central and South America and the Caribbean, having a worldwide influence on cuisine, fashion, dance, theater, architecture, and arts. Of course, there are also many Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. Now let s get down to learning some Spanish. Did you know a large percentage of English vocabulary has roots in Latin? Spanish gets a majority of its vocabulary from Latin, as well, so there are many similar words between the two languages. This means you already know the meaning of many Spanish words such as: radio, problema, policía, concierto, televisión, posible, restaurante, música, banana, bicicleta, hospital, diciembre, especial, and many more! You just have to learn the pronunciation. As you ll see, Spanish pronunciation isn t very difficult difícil! This book will help you learn the basics of communicating in Spanish in a way that will be fun and easy for you. We include many popular phrases and expressions, and show you how these are used in real life through example conversations and stories. This book also provides an easy pronunciation system that will give you the confidence you need to speak Spanish. A wide range of interesting and valuable topics give you a firm grounding in the language, including how to order food like a local, how to travel comfortably within the country, and even what to do when things go wrong. 6

7 pronunciation guide Spanish is very consistent in its pronunciation, meaning that vowels and consonants or combinations of letters are pronounced in the same way no matter what word they appear in*. Spanish has many of the same sounds found in English, plus some special sounds you might not be used to hearing. The following chart will help you pronounce words in Spanish; throughout this book, the pronunciation of most new words is given to you, with the stressed syllable in capital letters.

If the word ends in a vowel, n, or s, stress the next-to-last syllable. 2. If the word ends in a consonant other than n or s, stress the last syllable. 3. Any exception to rules one and two has a written accent over the stressed vowel. *The one exception is x which is pronounced like a strong h in some Native American words. 7
